However, it would be the closest the WildCats would get as the Maroons sealed their second set victory on a 7-0 run.

The final set saw Randolph take a brief 5-4 edge over the Maroons, capitalizing on two Roanoke attack errors, but Roanoke made quick work of taking back the lead off a 5-1 burst. The WildCats rallied with three unanswered points to level the score to 9-all, but were soon plagued by attack errors which opened the door for Roanoke to take a 15-9 lead.
